NEW YORK, NY – According to a report by Project Baltimore, no students were proficient in math in 23 Baltimore City Schools in 2022. Through an analysis of 150 Baltimore City Schools, 23 of them, including 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three high schools and two middle schools, no students met math grade-level expectations, according to a report by Project Baltimore. Approximately 2,000 students took the state administered math exams that tested proficiency levels.

“He’s calling friends in the Biden administration to help make his case and push his candidacy,” a source close to the White House told the NYP.

During his mayorship, de Blasio added a record number of jobs to NYC’s workforce, amounting to 326,739, according to the NYP. De Blasio has a long history with labor unions, and formed many negotiations with New York City’s unions to increase wages.

He “enjoyed a very good relationship with labor unions,” Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic political consultant, told the NYP.

De Blasio isn’t the only one whose eyes are on the upcoming vacancy, as former Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who lost his seat to Republican Mike Lawler back in November, is also reportedly interested in Labor Secretary, according to the NYP.

De Blasio did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
